Official Paper of the Ordinary of Spalding county and the City it Griftin. Our C*>«ta Rico correspondence says that many prominent people express the opinion that if war between Nic aragua and Costa Rica is started in good earnest, other Central Americar, republics may take hides, possibly getting them eventually under one head. Is this to bs another trust' forming scheme, iike that of the fight* ing gas companies in New York? It is announced in New York that a chemist has discovered how it. is pos *ibl« to produce a forty six candie power light with a consumption of one foot of illuminating gas per hour. The ordinary gas burner of the. pres ent time reqtiins six feet per hour, and the Welsbach light requires about half (foil quantity 11 can b- under stood, therefore, that if the claim of this new discoverer is well based it means a great deal for both consumers and gas companies If one id the companii s involved in the big gas war in Nov \ ork should secure the exclusive right of the new invention, the com pet in g com panics would have to go out of the illuminating business. “Sport,” a shepherd dog, belonging to Mrs. R. C. Hnntinging of Atlanta, disappeared from the home of his mis tress ab rut tl.e middle of last Janna ry. About a week ago he was drawn out of an old dry well, which is under the house of a nearlry neighbor. “Sport” was in ns good, if not better health, when he left his underground home than when he quit th- residence of his mistri rs The dog bad been in the well just three and a half month* when he was extricated from hi* dis mal In me, and the moment that Ins feet struck the ground he sprang away from Iris liberators and dashed for the h"ii«e .-i his mistress He fell n. the wed by accident, and the first eflorls to get h>m out having fai id, (cod ami water were letdown to him regularly < very day Mr. Russel) Sage dors not agree with Mr Andrew Carnegie’s philoso phy of wealth. Mr riage lives not be lieve that “to die rich is to die dis graced.” He is the owner of a Dumber of millions of dollars, variously tsti mated from ten to one hundred, but be is not going to quit w, rk and de vote himself to distributing his money. Mr Sage thinks he is performing a noble public, service by holding < n to his fortune. ‘Men who possess these big interests,” said Mr. Sage the o her day, “are inspirations to men to struggle (or wealth They are monu ments to point at. You can say to the ambitious man, ‘Look at Russell Sage; see what he did.’ and the ambi tious man will say to himself, ‘why can’t I do likewise?' ” That is one way in which the bold n niilliomrire is a benefit to the country. Here is another of them, as explained by Mr. Sage: “It is a mistake for men pne« seseing great properties to go out of business. They should hold on to ' their interests as a protection to the i public.” So, it will be seen, Mr Sage regirds himetlf as being quite a* much a philanthropist in his peculiar way as Mr. Carnegie is in hi* way. Mr. Sage permits the struggling man to look upon him a* a great man and a model to be copied, and that is worth •omething. And li en he holds tight ' to hie millions as a protection to the public, for, if be were to turn them i loose the public which got hold of a part of them might over eat, and that | would be bad. For Backache use Stu- I art’s Gin and Buchu. 4 decree was handed down Tueiday j morning by Judge Newman in the United States Court in Atlanta in the j famous case of llell against McKee, wherein the heirs of the former and the heirs of the latter have been unable to agree over the title to 117,(XX) acres of Lind in various sections of the state. A consent decree was the result ol the litigation which basbeen going through various routes in the United States Court for about eight months. The decree divides the property in half, allowing the beira of Bell and McKee to share equally in the partition of the property, The value of it is not known, but it is supposedly worth $1 per acre. Years ago Henry Bell and Joseph Mc- Kee entered into a partnership to buy and sell and trade generally in 'and in Georgia and other states of the South, The partnership dates back to a score of years before the civil war. The tracts of land were then too wild to encourage any one to claim them. Some of the property i.Ltaincd by the partnership was by direct grant from the state The suit was over some land they held jointly.

No. 10Spruce St., York. The Greatest Ever Known. THE —: MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO. OF NEW YORK. Breaks The Dividend Record. It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: Mr. Batiks was insured for $5 000.00 The dividends amounted to 12,028.00 ar ! Paid to the estate $17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these | for Ins benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5, 1545. Amount $5,000. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan. Original insurance in 1K45, $5,000. Dividend additions paid in 189*, 12,028.00 Amount of death claim sl7,(H‘-’,OO 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,640.00 Realized to estate over premiums paid $8 388 00 Being nearly equal to a returnofall the premiums paid with two ami a 1, ;lt (2|i per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,000 at age 40, to $17,028 at. age ‘J4. The dividend additions paid to the estate ■were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the I rower of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of iis method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by apolicy lolder in any other company in the world.

Mr. Editor Some years ago I took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say,in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor cotton, com, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over $3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 to another, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fair chance to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their m mey, or failing to get their value, as paid, ami some get a farm at far less than cost The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city oT some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to market gardening, and for | northern people who know how to work, it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. I have also a farm of 50 acres near Barnesville for sale, on good terms. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very low. The titles to the land have been in the posses sion ot one or two parties for years, and have never been questioned and are as good as gold. 8. B. BURR, Sr, Barnesville, Ga.
